I am the richest man in the world.

All three of us got an hour nap in. Christine is doing great after some rest and the baby has fed well.
Everyone is healthy.

Baby born!

Beautiful healthy girl!

Its Go Time

Christine's contractions have really picked up and she is feeling it. She received her last dose of Misoprotol an hour ago. Not sure if/when they will start Pitocin.

HAPPY WIFE

I am so glad she is feeling good and happy now. But she is just starting to get regular contractions so I bet her happy face won't last in about 4 hours.

Thank you all for your prayers!

Moving forward slowly.

One more dose of Misoprotol - will prolly start pitocin in 4 hours. Time for us both to take a big nap before GO time.

Lesson on Induction

So we have learned alot about hospitals and being induced in the last 6 hours:

1. Hospitals are like government - there is no end to the paperwork and it could be an eternity before things get started
2. First they RIPEN your cervix - so this first dose and future doses of this other drig are to get Christine to 4CM - she is only at 3CM right now.  This could take up to 24 hours alone.
3. After she gets to 4CM then we have the green light - at that point they start the pitocin (labor inducing drug) and things start moving.

So now that we know Christine is not being given a labor inducing drug, she is taking a nap in before things pick up.

thanks all for your comments and prayers!
